that may already be a thing with wine 10, not sure how stable it is though
(if wine counts as builtin)

I think either would be fine, if there was a way to "persist" the other layer to the files eventually. This may also be a solved problem and I've procrastinated fixing it.
just learned about scrobblers while reading the other replies. external since it seems straightforward to setup.
Everything is dumped on an ssd. I don't really have a system for it. I just rotate the albums copied to my laptop/phone 1 or 2 times a year.
A good system would help with maintaining clean metadata and something to track listens and playlists across devices.
martin kleppmann: ...and really what you want is a generic syncing service that is used for different local-first apps...

2026, year of atproto on desktop
So many Atproto apps now ❤️
But data layer interop means you don't *have* to "go" anywhere.
Concept demo of inverting things:
- local index of lexidex
- local cache of all your 'cons and records
- generic 'con-to-form engine
Now I can post, rsvp, bookmark all from the comfort of home.
mostly makes sense if the state is self-contained,
- marked a task as done
- moved an email to my spam folder
but not actions that affect the external world
- sent Alice a thumbs up after reading (maybe? if outboxes count as sync and time doesn't matter)
- made a reservation for a dinner
sync: read & write to a local store, network changes happen in the background
fetching: read & write to a remote store, network changes happen in the foreground
I think almost all the use cases could be described as concurrent editing, multiplayer, multi device, or long periods offline.

There are also a lot more full-featured alternative apps now (including useouranos.app 's very conveniently overlapping "team")
iirc @western-red-cedar.bsky.social tried sometime last year with the community bookmarks lexicon, but it got closed bc the Bluesky team didn't want to use "external" lexicons in their app.
though that may have changed now with the germ and stream place integrations.
nevermind claude mentioned it on July 26th, 2025 while "we" were "researching" storage setups
Heard about perkeep for the first time last week (from a twitch chat question read aloud on YouTube) then saw someone mention it two days later on bsky. Interesting.
maybe this is part of the reason people dislike systemd? using its init or journal are equivalent to running the systemd clis. the files feel like an implementation detail of the interface rather than its substrate
different from this niri-wm.github.io/niri/Tabs.html ?
I think the answer, at least in this specific case, is interfaces can be distinct from systems. the clipboard is accessible with cli tools or directly from x/wayland and vicinea's history iirc is a sqlite db in ~/.local.
So vicinae being just a launcher doesn't block the other layers
All this happened on a 5" thick laptop with windows 7 and a 40 min battery.
I noticed the objects in the last 9 minutes (first time using scratch). So explaining how to calculate the right wait times was on paper. But didn't get to "the computer should be doing this part actually".
Helped a 12yo with a Scratch project. It's supposed to be 2 people talking but they've set it up as distinct objects "saying" lines concurrently with waits in between. Is this... normal for Scratch???

2026 update: constellation plus the way semble mirrors cards could be used as a hash table. Need a different right type of nerd to figure out the distributed part
Yeah, there's still something missing. Unless single user pdses became the common case, most users rely on someone else for hosting, but the servers are free which doesn't sound very sustainable.
